    I think your quilt is lovely. I don't see the mis-points so I wouldn't worry about it.

    Beautiful!! Because of the pattern you do not notice if the points are perfect. We work so close to our subject (quilt) that we see every speck that is wrong where others only see the beauty. Enjoy!!

    Your points at mighty close. No one would notice but you and the quilt police, and you know they don't count. Your colors are beautiful. Love that quilt top. when it is a finished quilt, you will love it too.

    I really don't see the points not matching, even in your closeup picture. The quilt is pretty, even if it doesn't have the contrast that would show the pattern more.

    One thing with Bali Pops, they are hand cut and aren't always exactly 2.5". The only time I used them, I matched them with strips of fabric that I had cut. With my fabric on top, I matched the left side and sewed the right side. So then any slight difference in the size of the Bali Pop was taken care of in the seam allowance. Also, bias cuts are difficult to sew without stretching. You may want to try starch or sizing on it.

    Anyway, pretty quilt.

    I agree with everyone. You are being too hard on yourself. Just quilt it, bind it and move on. ;-)

    I think it looks great and your being too critical of yourself. I am like that too and when you step by, you'll see the beauty of what you made. I love the fabric and design. Also, we all learn from each project, each challenge, each mistake.

    This is how I feel also. It's very nice.
    I have the same problems sometimes; it's nice to hear about the spray starch from others! I'll try it.

    And yes, we need to stop being so hard on ourselves!
